The Astro Pi project offers students the opportunity to discover the world of programming by writing code that will be executed on Raspberry Pi computers aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Mission Zero gives beginner teams the chance to write Python code that will display a drawing on the LED screen of the Astro Pi computers on the ISS. More experienced teams can take part in Mission Space Lab, in which they will have to determine the velocity of the ISS’s movement around the Earth using code that utilizes the Raspberry Pi sensors.

Even though both challenges started on September 8, 2025, you still have a few months to register your teams on the European Space Agency website. The CNES, through its ESERO France office, is organizing a webinar to help you complete your project and answer your questions before you submit your projects. To help you, the ESERO France team will be joined by Vivien Baert, a technology teacher who has been involved in Astro Pi projects for eight years.
This webinar will take place online on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Emails containing the link and login details will be sent to registered participants. The registration form is available below.
